Meet Wally – The Happiest Aussie Around! 🐶☀️ Wally is a jolly, joyful Australian Shepherd with a heart as big as his smile! His journey hasn’t been the smoothest—rescued from a shelter somewhere in LA, he was quickly pulled by a less-than-reputable rescue and left in boarding without a second thought. But despite the bumps in the road, Wally never let it dim his light. This boy is pure sunshine. Wally is friendly with everyone he meets—dogs, people, you name it. He’s super affectionate, loves to be near his humans, and has that lovable Aussie charm that wins hearts fast. He doesn’t bark much, he just wants to spread joy and soak up love wherever he can. Wally is also dog-friendly, making him a great fit for homes with other pups. His energy is upbeat without being over the top, and his sweet, easygoing personality makes him a dream companion. Wally’s ready for a fresh start—one where he’s truly part of a family, not just passed through. If you’re looking for a loyal, loving buddy who’ll brighten every day with a wag and a cuddle, Wally is waiting with open paws. Come meet Wally—the happy heart you didn’t know you needed. 🐾❤️

Story
Pongo is a real ball of energy, with enough enthusiasm to keep you going all day long. Due to his excitement, Pongo can be a little mouthy at times, so you might want to invest in some sturdy chew toys! Despite his playful nature, Pongo is also one smart cookie. He's always eager to learn new tricks and commands, and with the right training, he's sure to be the top dog in no time. However, it's worth noting that Pongo may need some extra guidance and training. He's still learning the ropes, but with patience and lots of treats, he'll be a great companion. Please call 707-459-4900 if you would like to meet Pongo.

Story
Meet Crosby! Crosby is a Catahoula mix who exudes energetic, joy and happiness. He’s a confident, intelligent pup who loves people and other dogs he’s met (so far), and his wonderful Catahoula nature offers a deep desire to please his humans, to love on them, and to be a part of the family. He’s still a young fellow who will need guidance, training, and structure to grow into an amazing, well-mannered adult, but he’s a very quick learner, and he’s looking forward to learning all this exciting stuff from a loving adopter like you! Crosby is very energetic and adventurous without being obnoxious, but he does require daily exercise (a large yard, toys, walks or hikes) to keep his mind and his body stimulated. Because he’s still young, energetic, and brand new to learning the ropes about manners and life, (like not jumping on people to say hello, for example), he would do best in a home without small children that he could easily knock over or accidentally scratch while playing. He would also do best in a home with another dog with a similar active energy level that he can plan with. Please apply to meet him if he sounds like a match to you.

Story
If you’re looking for a truly happy-go-lucky, sweetheart of a dog, this adorable, fluffy gent is for you! Cash is shy and gets easily overwhelmed when meeting new people; he may even run and hide from you at first, but the moment he realizes you’re safe and just want to give him some love, he puts his big boy britches on and warms up to you, showing you his truly kind-natured, sweet persona. Once he opens up, Cash adores being showered with pets and belly rubs and gazing deeply into your eyes with a puppyish grin on his face, all while soaking up your attention and affection and adding it to his mental confidence meter. The quickest way to Cash’s heart is definitely through another fun-loving pup or pups. He absolutely LOVES loves loves other dogs of all shapes and sizes — puppies and adults, small and giant — and his play style is truly a joy to watch; he’s energetic and interactive, yet respectful and plays quietly, especially for such a youngster. Playtime and just being around other resident dogs is his favorite time of the day… other than naps, of course! Cash accepts treats gently, doesn’t resource guard, appreciates cuddling up with soft toys, and has already mastered the puppy art of basking in the sun, either by himself, with his buddies, or with his human by his side. This adorable, charming fella would thrive in a calm and peaceful home with another dog or dogs to play with. Ideally an active person, couple, or family to introduce him to new noises and new things (slowly…), and who would take him on exciting pack hikes and new adventures! Cash comes from a secluded, serene environment in the woods, so urban settings are understandably very scary and overwhelming for him.

Story
Hikcup is a gentle, thoughtful pup who takes a little time to warm up to new people, but with patience and kindness, his sweet personality begins to shine. Hikcup does best with calm, dog-savvy children ages 10 and older who understand the importance of giving him space to build trust at his own pace. But with consistency and love this boy will shine! He has medium energy and would love a home with a securely fenced yard where he can play with friends, explore, and gain confidence in a familiar environment. With a soft mouth and a gentle nature, Hikcup is a wonderful companion who simply needs a little extra reassurance. As Hikcup continues to grow, he will benefit from ongoing socialization and athletic activities with both people and other dogs, as well as puppy obedience classes to help build confidence. For a family willing to offer patience, encouragement, and plenty of love, Hikcup has all the potential to become a loyal and devoted best friend.

Story
Meet our lovely Bonnie who came in from Fresno, and arrived by plane with her 8 pups to the Milo Sanctuary in Willits. As soon as she landed with Milo, she started enjoying the finer things in life in a foster home, and having raised her pups, she's now enjoying home comforts and love all to herself! Bonnie is friendly, social and playful. She LOVES balls and toys! She’s bright and watchful and very aware of her surroundings. Her favorite thing to do is playing fetch or just having a good time romping about in the yard. Her foster reports that she already knows sit and stay, and has great recall, so she's ready to hit up the trails hiking with her people! Providing she's had a good amount of exercise (around an hour+ walk in the morning), she also knows when it’s time to unwind, and will settle down to rest or hang out while you work. She happily sleeps through the night in her crate, and is fully potty trained. She can be left alone for a few hours at a time, but would love a home where she'll get plenty of exercise and mental stimulation. Bonnie attaches closely to her person or people and has shown some resource guarding of her foster mom with new people coming into the home. If she greets them outside first with treats and positive reinforcement, she then tends to do well with guests in the home. Ultimately it seems like this behavior comes from fear and uncertainty, so she would do best in a home that can show her leadership, security and patience as she works through these behaviors. For this reason, a home with young kids wouldn't be good fit for her. Bonnie is the perfect medium size, around 40 pounds, who is looking for an active family, couple or solo adult to give her the training, security, love, adventures and activity she craves! Apply today to meet this sweet mama who's ready for a family of her own!
